Description/Details: First held in 2015 as an initiative for the Year of Consecrated Life, the event provides a forum for ongoing intellectual formation, prayer, and community among Hispanic sisters from different congregations. This year's course will explore the lives and teachings of the four women Doctors of the Church. First we will study the life of each doctor in the context of the history of the Church and her own nation in order to understand her prophetic and spiritual call. We will then follow with an overview of each one’s complete works (theological treatises, various texts of instruction for her own fellow religious, letters, poetry, theatrical works, musical compositions, etc.) and a more in depth study of selected texts. For each doctor we will look at her influence and reception in the life of the Church.
